An unprecedented earthquake occurred in Haiyuan county and damaged the vast surround-ing area of Gansu province in the ninth year of the Republic of China(1920).It also had a significant impact on the local environment except that the extremely serious disaster,the affected area,and the large number of people affected.The geological landscape and agricultural production environment had been changed signifi-cantly,typical of which included the displacement of mountains,damage to farmland,changed in water bod-ies,depletion of wells and springs,and the proliferation of cracks.The Haiyuan earthquake also caused typi-cal changes in the regional climate and environment,lending to serious natural disasters cases,causing a large amount of house damage,resulting in the death of many people in this disaster.After the earthquake,the social and economic situation in Gansu Province was severely affected,and the fragile natural environ-ment,barren living environment,and rudimentary living environment were constantly deteriorating.The so-cial development in the disaster area was once in a difficult situation.however,agricultural production in the disaster area resumed and the population gradually increased after a series famine relief measures were taken by all parties.although the counties affected by the earthquake had undergone brief construction,but local so-cial development still faced numerous difficulties,in the context of warlord warfare,widespread smoking,banditry,and unusually high taxes.It can be seen that the restoration of post disaster agricultural production and the reconstruction of disaster areas must be tailored to local conditions to cope with the special relation-ship between humans and nature during major earthquakes.
